sense.

The only logical argument that I can accept for the punitive measures
of power limitations and the ridiculous restrictions on homebrewing and
the "final voltage restrictions for the lowest class of operation is
just the creation of another group of "great unwashed"

We DON'T learn do we?


Apparently there's NO reading, either. The only power limitation of
the NECVEC petition-proposal is in a 400 KHz low sub-band on 10m
for the three lower classes.

Re-read the NECVEC petition-proposal and report back.

I have, and are you talking about something else? I took NECVEC to be a
typo, since NCVEC is a group that put forth a proposal some time ago.
Perhaps you are referring to a different group?

At any rate, No need to modify my argument if you are referring to the
NCVEC and not the NECVEC.
